WordPress gets hacked when it is not updated. The fix is boring: updates, backups, logins that are not admin/admin.

This is written for Alberta operators, in Canadian English, by Seal Grow. No guaranteed rankings. No fake reviews.

Updates

Core, plugins, PHP. Staging for anything risky.

Logins

Unique users, 2FA if you can, no shared 'owner' password on a sticky note.

Backups you have restored

A backup that has never been tested is a hope.

Want this done without a 40-page proposal? Book a 20-minute fit call. We will tell you if our website maintenance and care work fits, or if you should stay put.

What we will not do

Guarantee Google positions. Stuff keywords into a business name. Build doorway pages for towns you do not serve. Hide ownership of the domain or the files.

Next step

Send the live URL (or the idea) and the job you want more of. We will recommend a fixed next step in CAD — or an honest no.

Do I need a security plugin?+

Is WordPress unsafe?+

Neglected WordPress is. Maintained WordPress is fine for most service sites.

What does a care plan include?+
